I know it's not the the end of the week yet but how about a music thread??

I didn't say anything about charting or ownership. And I did say "covered". Anyways, the above is what I remember hearing, albeit a loooong time ago.

Interesting. I've learned something tonight. Clearly they aren't the same song. The one you cite even has a different title. It's just a different song.

Just as obviously, Melaine's song was inspired by this one. Thanks for enlightening me.

In case you're interested, Teresa Brewer hit #1 with Music! Music! Music!, Freddy Martin hit #5, Carmen Cavallaro also #5, Ames Brothers #14, Hugo Winterhalter #17, Mickey Katz #18 ... all in 1950. That song was a much bigger hit than Melanie's Nickel Song was. But, I like Melanie anyway.


Uh, in case you're wondering ... I have a searchable data base with all charted songs which goes back a century. 8-o

Well, now I've learned something too. And it reminds me of something I wish more modern musicians would learn. Nobody creates in a vacuum. And yet, in the past few years, I've been hearing more accusations of plagiarism. Most, I think, get settled out of court, but some end up there. Except in severe rip-off cases, I think musicians ought to be happy they've inspired someone else.

And I can sure listen to Melanie more than Teresa Brewer!

Richard Thompson: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning

Okay, one more before I hit the sack. Tried to find one of the recording live at Carnegie Hall. Settled for the studio version.

Renaissance: Carpet of the SunAnnie Haslam has such a wonderful voice.

Blackmore's Night: Ghost of a Rose
And, finally ...
Mike Oldfield: Moonlight Shadow
I like the version from the The Art in Heaven Concert (Berlin) much better.

Muse is awesome!

 

[Dkrom68]

Yes they are and not really popular till recently but they have been around for ever

Yes they are and not really popular till recently but they have been around for ever

I think they are bigger in the uk. I sort of view them as the european equivalent to tool. They definitely do not get the recognition they deserve!

 

[Dkrom68]

This new song is topping the charts here now and your right they dont get the recognition the deserve

When I was playing a lot in buffalo I got to hang out and jam with her and well she is who she is. I really think 100 years from now her music will be more popular than it is today. Yes she does sound this good whether she is on stage or hanging out on your buddie's couch.

I love Nick Drake, you might remember one of these songs from a recent cell phone commercial, and another from an older VW commercial. Too bad this guy died at such a young age (I believe he was about 26 or so). Very talented but here are the songs.. if you like these then you'll like pretty much everything else he has done.

This is a Peter Green tune, but I like the Priest cover better.
